There were a lot of warm words expressed about both HEPI and Wonkhe at last week’s Society for Research into Higher Education ( SRHE ) event on bridging academia and policymaking. HEPI, Wonkhe, the SRHE and the CGHE. On coming to power, the austerity-obsessed Coalition were similarly parsimonious.

Increased workloads, pressures of research funding, lack of work-life balance and lack of management support are universal trends globally ( Kinman and Jones , 2008 ) leading to many university academics leaving the profession ( Heffernan et al , 2019 ; Ligibel et al , 2023 ).

But lately, there’s been so much significant change in academia, that I’ve fallen much more into a role of looking at the bigger, broader trend. And that it’s there, but don’t think you can wrap your hands around it and understand, you know, do a quick briefing paper of how it’s going to hit academia.

Jesse Louis Jackson’s historic presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 and the election of a virtually unknown political figure — Barack Obama — in 2008. It is no coincidence that after leaving Congress, Chisholm joined academia where she taught at Mount Holyoke College — a private women’s liberal arts college in Massachusetts.

So that’s what the exploratory study aimed at back in 2008-2009. Ireland suffered tremendously in terms of university autonomy from the impact of the economic crisis that we’ve experienced 2008-2009, and that has generated long-term effects on what universities were allowed to do or not.
